>When using floats I often want to make sure that the float is set at
>exactly that position specified in the source, even if that means a lot
>of whitespace on certain pages. In particular, I want to prevent the
>text following the float from 'overtaking' it. From the user manual I
>learned that 'force' can be used to control this behaviour. But it does
>not seem to work the way I expected it.

>Let me illustrate this with a short example:
